Most helpful review

Big room with a sink which is useful. The kitchen is very small for 7 people and you only get one table pressed up against the wall. No social space at all, you have to socialise in people's rooms. Great location though. 2 minute walk from GSA and 30 seconds from the Library and Wates House.

Student Review: 3.3 /5
By member9120981 On 19th October 24 verified Verified student

Overall Rating: 4/5 I had a generally positive experience staying at this university accommodation. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects: Positives: Room Space & Amenities: The size of the room was fantastic! There was more than enough space to comfortably organize my belongings, study, and relax. One of the standout features was the in-room sink. This was incredibly convenient for personal hygiene and saved trips to the communal bathrooms for small tasks. The large windows in the room were another highlight. They allowed for plenty of natural light, making the room feel airy and open. This really improved the overall atmosphere, making the space feel inviting and pleasant. Value for Money: Given the rent price, I found the accommodation to be excellent value for money. Compared to other student accommodations, it provided a good balance between cost and the facilities offered. Negatives: Kitchen Size One of the main downsides

It's in a great location, right on campus, however ... The bathrooms are tiny. Showers are so small it's literally difficult to rinse and lather because you have limited movement inside them. Kitchens are tiny. They wouldn't be bad for 3-4 people but 6-7 is definitely exceeding the limits. Very uncomfortable. No elevators in the flat I stayed in and walking up 3 flights of stairs after walking uphill is tiresome. Almost zero ventilation from windows so in the Spring/Summer it gets super hot in your room. No common area to socialize. People stay in their rooms, trying to socialize in the tiny kitchens is uncomfortable. Plenty of laundry machines.

Very beautiful and well located however had constant problems throughout the year. Loco broke on the second day and I was locked out of my flat with no lock on the main door for 2 weeks. Lift was constantly breaking. Doesn’t have a good ventilation system so higher floors get very hot or very cold. Cathedral bells being heard at all hours should be advertised as it played a part in many people’s sleep cycle.

New building, absolutely spot on. Get what we pay for staff are helpful and try to accommodate and cater for all needs. Any issues get dealt with or fixed same day. Right in the city centre and only 29 minutes walk to uni. Couldn't ask for a better place to oive.

I loved every minute of living at Cathedral Court! The best location out of all of the halls, lovely rooms. Kitchens are small but that wasn't a problem at all, still had more than enough space to socialise.

The kitchens are tiny and sparsely cleaned, no room to socialise or cook as only 3 people can fit at a time. Makes pre drinks difficult and have to go elsewhere. The showers are what you would expect but the mould and spider infestation is not. Good location as opposite the library.

Kitchen cannot fit 3 people in let alone the 7 it is meant to cater for. Cleaner is rude and rearranges our kitchens for us and puts clean items in with dirty.

The accomodation is located nicely and very near to classes and library. I can go out less than 5 minutes before class. The room is reasonably spacious but the kitchen is super small and can only fit 2-3 people at a time. The bathroom is quite small too, but is really clean. Overall, surely a recommendation.

The kitchens are far too small for the number of people sharing it. There are also not enough cupboards to store everything in the kitchen. Most of my food was in my room. However the rooms have a good size.

I shared a block with ~27 people of which 20 of us got on so well together (2013). Many of us are now in are finally year and constantly miss the amazing time we had in our 1st year and regularly find time to catch up. The important thing we realised is that everyone wants to have a good time, so there is no point in wasting time being shy about it. :) #Cath5A #Family

Very disappointed with my halls, no social space, tiny kitchens, toilets without sinks, and we are paying the same amount of money as people living in the exact same halls only renovated.
